N w07 A TTUR/VEVS STATES tFFICE@ MOTN-PICT'JEE To all whom it may concer/n Be 1t known that l, @nazio A'N'ronnigni,

' a subject ot the, King; ot Italy, and resident lli this character in which one unit shall be capable ot taking; well as projcwtingr niotion pictures.

lilith this in view, l have constructed a motion picture apparatus which will primarily permit of the utilization ot a lilm which shall he ot a construction permitting` ot' its heine; manufactured and developed tor a nominal amount.

A further objee ot my invention is the construction ot a device ot the character specified in which the apparatus permitting of the taking of motion pictures is extremely simple.

Still another object ot my invention is the provision of a projecting' machine which shall also be simple in construction and be capable ot being manufactured i'or a nom inal ligure.

Still another object. ot my invention is that ot combininginto a single unit both the camera and projectingl apparatus atoreiuentioned so that the essential parts ol this unit will function tor the purposes ot both photography and projection. and thus reduce both the initial cost as well as substL quent expense to a minimum. t

Further objects o t my invention will app ar in the annexed specitication taken in connection with the drawings. which latter present one practical embodiment oin the same. and in which;

Figure l is a sectional view taken through a motion picture apparatus produced in accordance with my invention.

Figure 9 is an enlarged fragmentary rear view ot the carriage adjustment.

Figure 10 is a sectional plan view taken along the line lO-lO and in the direotion` ot the arrows indicated in Fig. 9.

Figure ll is a Jtace view ot the apparatus showing one portion ot the ease removed, and the elements in the position which they assume upon the same being utilizeth as a camera` and -Figure l2 illustrates the normal appearance ot the exterior ot' the in these viens the reference numeral .l5 indicates a casing ot any desirable type,

which may bc provided with a handle 1G l' perinitt-ing` ot its being carried. Also the side walls 'll' ot the casingl may be hing'eclly secured as at lo to the body oi the same`r and normally retained in their proper position by any suitable fasteningA means '19.

Now with a view ot providing means sering to permit ot pictures being' taken., 't mount a leus 20 within the casing, the passage ot exterior lightI rays through this lens being normally prevented by any suitable torni ot closure il crank extending beyond the outer tace of the casinelo serves to permit ot a rotation ot a sli-att within the bodjy ot the same. and secured to this shaft is any d Jed type ot gear 24. which co-op iratinn* with the gear 25 secured to the rotatalily mounted shatt 6, serves to effect a multiplication oi movement of the latter.

pair ot beveled `nears 27 secured to the, shait 2G and a sha'l't 28 respectively, serve to transmit rotation trom the 'former to the latten and a shutter Q9 is tinedly secured to the outer end ot this shaft 2S. and has the outer edge of its body overlying the lens servingin the usual manner to interruptthe passage ot light rays through the same.

nThus upon the crank Z2 being rotatedy will be seen that both the shafts 26 and 2X8 will rotate. and that the passage o'liight rays either trom the exterior into the interior of the casing'` or vice versa, 'will be' incas-.oa

the lens 2l), so that upon'it being desired to project pictures, the switch 51% may be actun'ierlto cause the bulb to glow. thus prolacing light rays penetrating through the positive lens and cutout portions ot' the shut` ter, and projecting:T the image upon the screen. f'

From the foregoing it will be a'ipreciatcd that l nave provided a-motion picture apparatu: which will be suitable for use by the average amateur' and -which may be enjoyed by the entire household, in that the same essentirl apparatus mav be employed for both the rnakingt and projection of films which litter, due to their simple construction are extremely economical, it being also noted that it may be placed upon the market at a reduced figure.

Obviously numerous modifications oi structure might readily be resorted to without in the lea-t departing from the spirit of my invention, which l claim as l. A motion picture apparatus, including a rotatable shaft, a film adapted to be removably secured to one end of said shaltA a, disk secured to the opposite end ot said shaft, and means for intermittently rotating and swinging said disk.

2. A motion picture apparatus, including a rotatable shaft, a carriage mounting said shaft, said carriage being capable o'l a siringar4 .ingI motion', and a movable bracket lor mounting said carriage.
